Tryin’ to Catch Me Ridin’ Cozy

The Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, I had one, almost everyone had one over the years it seems. They were so much fun and required leg work, which is always good for the heart. Nothing against the battery powered ones or anything but it always seems like with something more simple like this little coupe, it requires you to use your imagination. Example: Truett has had a battery powered jeep. Of course he thought it was cool because he felt like he was truly driving like we adults do but with the Cozy Coupe, he literally has been playing for over an hour, pretending to be the UPS man, stuck in the mud, and tying a rope to the back and dragging “pipe”. Now that’s imagination and I love seeing his creative little mind work.

Here he is JUST getting to sit in it for the first time.

Here he’s like, “I’m out of gas Mom!” LOL…oh man, I was cracking up.

I think he was trying to look like his car!!! LOL Too cute. He had so much fun with it.

I don’t want to be entered since Ian has one already, his is a police car just like Pop’s. I just wanted to say how much he loves his and it still has the floorboard in it because he hasn’t gotten the leg part down yet. He loves to take his blanket in it and eat his mornign snack and watch The Bernstein Bears.

My favorite was that car! We spent many hours playing with it. When we got older we would push it top of the driveway, get on top of it and ride down! Haha it is a wonder we are still alive with no broken bones!!!

I didn’t have any Little Tykes toys when I was growing up, but my favorite toy that my boys have is the Little Tykes piano. It’s lasted through all three kids and still works.

My kids had one back in the early 80’s. They literally ran the wheels off of it (luckily, replacement parts are available). We passed it on to 2 sets of cousins, and eventually it died. I’d love to have one for the “grands”. Love their toys.

I don’t remember having one BUT my daughter had that car when she was little. I just wished I kept it for my youngest son but I got rid of it after kid #2 arrived thinking I wouldn’t have any more kids! ;D

I don’t recall ever having any Little Tykes Toys. Just a swingset and bike. I had never heard of a Cozy Coupe until 5 years ago when my oldest was born. I must have been sheltered : ) We have one that my son just loves. Now we need one for my youngest son!

I don’t remember having Little Tikes toys as a kid…..but my boys have had plenty already, and they tend to be the most durable toys of them all! They have a little picnic table that we use in the house for doing art projects/snacks/etc.

When my eldest was little (she’s 18 now) she had the pink/white table and chair set. She would sit there for each meal and do all of her crafts at that table. She loved her little tikes table…and so did I!!

Since they didn’t make Little Tikes when I was young, I’d have to say my favorite is the Little Likes Island Adventure Water Table. We bought it for my 2 year old grandson last summer. He played with it every day. The poor guy was broken hearted when we had to put it away when the weather got cold.

We got the water table out a couple of weeks ago and he was so happy. He’s back to playing in it every day again.This week it was a car wash so he could wash all his little toy cars.

My older son had the Police Cruiser and he absolutely loved it. He also had a ride on toy that they no longer make that he adored, he nicknamed him Toby, He was pale green with a hat. Would love a new Cozy Coupe for my youngest son.

Fave Little Tikes toy- well, when my girls were little there was one called the poppy penguin- not a toy so much as a portable toybox- that thing fit so much and you were always good to go- it was especially fabulous since each kid in turn (they are 3 and 4 years apart) almost always grabbed it when we went in the car so even when we had unexpected delays they had their fave things with them.

I wrote to Little Tikes asking if they had any tucked back or would consider something like that again as we lost ours (well…… ahem we had it in a waiting room, and then it wasn’t there, but I digress) then didnt’t bother responding. *sighs*

EVERYONE who saw it thought it was the cleverest thing ever since it was light enough and small enough and most importantly STURDY enough for the little ones to drag around yet roomy enough to hold quite a bit. I can’t even find it on Ebay but live in hope. ;-) Maybe you can put in a word? :D
I really really want one for Ian . Oh, and the penguin was blue the tummy white and soft and it squeaked when the kids pushed it- and it lasted through all 4 girls – 25 years ago and we had it for 14 of those years- lost it when Dev was about 3.
